A group of Nihang, Nirvair Khalsa-Udna Dal, has admitted to killing a Dalit man at Singhu border on Friday for allegedly committing sacrilege.
The body of Lakhbir Singhm was found near a farmers’ protest site at Jundli in Sonipat.
“Balwinder Singh, Panth – Akali, Nirvair Khalsa-Udna Dal,” said the man had come to them a few days ago, as saying by India Today.
“He did seva (service) at our camp, won our trust,” Balwinder Singh said.
“Before the Prakash Prayer (offered around 3 AM), he removed the cloth to cover the holy scripture. And insulted the Pothi Sahib (translation book),” Balwinder Singh added.
“Whoever indulges in an act of sacrilege, we will treat them in this manner only. We won’t approach any police, administration,” Balwinder Singh said.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), the umbrella body of over 40 farmer unions leading the agitation against the three new farm laws, distanced itself from the entire incident.
